• Qin Wang told Wanyan Meng they were going to the Wu Family Sword Domain first, and she agreed to follow him.
• Wu Zongbo led Wu Family disciples to investigate the Sword Domain’s tremors and ordered them to search the area where the Sword Intent source had been sensed.

• Wanyan Meng’s exposed Void Refining Realm aura drew Wu Zongbo and the Wu Family disciples to confront her and Qin Wang at the Sword Domain entrance.
• Wanyan Meng attacked with black light while Qin Wang defended against the Universe Sword Formation, and he used A Sword Separates Worlds to break through the sword formation without killing anyone.

• Wu Zongbo reported the encounter to the family head and elders, and Wu Jiangtian accused a Wu Family insider of leaking A Sword Separates Worlds and demanded Qin Wang be captured and interrogated.

Wu Jiangtian pushed for a forceful attack on the Sword Domain, but the Wu Family elders narrowly chose Wu Zongbo’s plan to investigate and seek a peaceful resolution. As Wu Zongbo suspected the Ancestor’s seclusion had gone wrong, he approached Qin Wang and Wanyan Meng, where he realized Qin Wang held the authority.

• Wu Zongbo argued that the Wu Family should investigate the Sword Domain’s hidden figure and the flying sword rather than attack, and the elders narrowly voted in his favor.

• In the early morning, Qin Wang opened the Intelligence Panel and saw that the daily intel had updated.

Qin Wang learned that rival Wu Family factions planned to disrupt Wu Su’s inheritance, while powerful sects and Bai Fenghuan were closing in on him. As Qin Wang cultivated beside the Ancient Sword, Wanyan Meng heard an eerie voice calling to her, and Wu Zongbo later offered Qin Wang permission to remain nearby under strict conditions.

• Qin Wang concluded that he needed to find the twenty-four Azure Nether Small Swords and decided to leave Wu Su’s family troubles until she emerged from inheritance in a month.
• Wanyan Meng heard an unexplained voice repeatedly telling her to come find it while she cultivated, but she kept the experience from Qin Wang.
• The next morning, Qin Wang noticed Wanyan Meng seemed weary, but she told him her Curse Power cultivation was progressing slowly and he comforted her.
• Wu Zongbo returned with two Wu Family disciples and said Wu Zhixing would let Qin Wang guard Wu Su if he stayed within one li and caused no damage in the Sword Domain.

Qin Wang rejected Wu Zongbo’s attempt to restrict his movements and exposed the Wu Family’s internal conflict over Wu Jiangtian. After testing Qin Wang’s Sword Intent, Wu Zongbo allowed him to move freely through the Sword Domain but warned that the family head planned to seal it until Wu Su emerged from seclusion.

• Qin Wang asked Wanyan Meng to protect the Ancient Sword and keep Wu Su’s inheritance undisturbed, then set warning formations and left to search for the remaining twenty-four Azure Nether Small Swords.
• Wan Jianyi learned Qin Tiedan was in the Wu Family Sword Domain and agreed to the Wuji Sect’s plan, deciding to lead Taiyi Sword Sect’s team himself.
• Chu Wusheng suspected Wan Jianyi sought a benefit from Qin Tiedan and decided to let him go first and scout for danger.
• Sima Shi told Luo Zhen that Qin Tiedan had once taught him and asked permission to go alone to repay his master’s kindness.

Luo Zhen agreed to accompany Sima Shi to help save Qin Wang, while Wu Jiangtian prepared for the Wuji Sect and Taiyi Sword Sect to arrive. In the Sword Domain, Qin Wang survived an assassin’s attack, but the attacker proved to be a clay decoy, leaving the assassin’s whereabouts unknown.

• Qin Wang froze the black-clad attacker with Time Stop and pierced it with the Qingping Sword, then discovered it was a clay figure and found no trace of the real assassin.
• Qin Wang waited without detecting the assassin and retrieved the Azure Nether Small Sword from the ground.

Qin Wang discovered that a battered Azure Nether Small Sword could not merge with the Qingping Sword or accept his Magic Power, so he suspected a restriction in the Sword Domain. Meanwhile, Wu Jiangtian killed the assassin who had failed to kill Qin Tiedan and demanded compensation, then tracked down and killed the assassin’s servant disguise before he could retaliate.

• Qin Wang found that the battered Azure Nether Small Sword resisted his Magic Power and would not merge with the Qingping Sword.
• The shadow reported that his assassination attempt on Qin Tiedan had failed because Qin Tiedan had powerful protectors and abilities that defeated the attack.
• The shadow demanded a Heaven-rank sword art and a top-grade spirit stone from Wu Jiangtian, threatening to expose him if he refused.
• Wu Jiangtian surrounded the shadow’s puppet incarnation with Sword Qi and destroyed it.
• The shadow, disguised as a Wu Family servant, decided to flee and expose Wu Jiangtian, but Wu Jiangtian appeared and pierced his dantian, destroying his Sea of Consciousness.

Qin Wang gathered all twenty-four Azure Nether Small Swords and merged them into the Qingping Sword, unleashing Sword Intent powerful enough to shake swords across the Wu Family. When he touched the strengthened sword, he witnessed a vision of its former wielder destroying a colossal beast and nearby stars.

• Wu Jiangtian destroyed the corpse he believed had been used as a puppet and left after searching the area.
• Qin Wang found the remaining Azure Nether Small Swords and combined his original twelve into the Qingping Sword, awakening its Sword Intent.

• The twenty-four Azure Nether Small Swords merged into the Qingping Sword, and Qin Wang touched it.
• Qin Wang witnessed a vision in which a sword wielder used the Qingping Sword to destroy a colossal beast and shatter surrounding stars.

• Wan Jianyi asked Wu Zhixing to open the Sword Domain, saying that the Wuji Sect and Taiyi Sword Sect had come for Qin Tiedan.

Wu Zhixing refused to let the Central Province sects enter the Wu Family Sword Domain or seize Qin Tiedan, while Wu Jiangtian undermined him and promised to persuade him. Wu Zhixing explained that Qin Tiedan might be the Wu Family’s greatest hope, and Qin Wang opened the system to check the newly updated daily intel.

• Wan Jianyi proposed that the Wu Family capture Qin Tiedan or drive him out of the Sword Domain, but Wu Zhixing refused to open the sealed domain.
• Wu Jiangtian publicly backed Wan Jianyi and provoked rumors about Wu Zhixing’s connection to Qin Tiedan among the sect representatives.
